The "all year" you refer to is basically since De Koning has been solo rucking, and even then it's only been some stoppages that Cripps has tried to ruck.
There is no need to rove the ball off the ground in a pack of 12 blokes if you have the ball in your hands already! Its not rocket science.
When Cripps and BigH have rucked inside F50 they've been barely effective, so we are stopping an A-Grade stoppage player from doing what he is good at to be a C-Grade ruck option.
So, I think having Cripps do that ruck work is a negative, I'd rather see SoJ ruck and have Cripps rove to it.
